Should you RESET your account before WIPE? - Escape From Tarkov
Ойындар
With patch 12.11 including a wipe wipe with it, one thing some people don't usually think about is resetting their game profiles with the wipe. Patch 12.11 is bound to bring new ways of doing things and content, but something people overlook is how much XP you can gain from IDing items before going into Raids
Last year, Battle State Games changed it to where the items you ID'd were persistent through each wipe. That means even though you loose everything else, the items you ID'd do not require being ID'd again each wipe. It was a great quality of life feature for veterans, but it doesn't come without it's drawbacks.
In this video I explain why you should reset your account when Tarkov wipes with 12.11, the benefits, the drawbacks, and some strategies surrounding the decision.

@Airwingmarine
3 жыл бұрын
Weapon presets did not cary over through the 12.9 wipe because they overhauled the attachments of almost every gun.
about the 1 level free xp.. one raid extract with a few kills already gets you to lvl 3, or so. i'm not gonna examine all those items again xD & I went other maps besides customs on last wipe... players are everywhere, players know there's loot everywhere. So thx for the content, but imma not gonna reset
Unless they make the wipe with the items already discovered for us, cause what the hell, im sure anyone knows what water looks like.
Theres def a reason to do it for that free XP, but no reason to do it before the wipe. Wait until after it actually wipes, and reset during the update time. That way atleast u can still play until it hits.
will not wipe, but will definitely go woods, thata a great idea !
They confirmed wipe with factory expansion: twitter.com/bstategames/status/1408724752773091328 It translates basically saying "clean slate" meaning wipe and "one of the many abandoned shelters in the suburbs of tarkov" means factory. Therefore, wipe with factory expansion

During the wipe everything gets reset with the exception of the items you ID'd (they stay ID'd), your gun prebuilds, and your total playtime on your stat screen. If you rest your account it resets the items ID'd and your gun prebuilds. If you reset today, for example, and ID anything, it will still be ID'd when they wipe.

i hear the lower lvl you are in raid...the easier it is to RAISE or GRIND SKILL levels/xp like if you pop a sj6 at level 1 etc sprint to up stats...vs iding stuff etc and entering raid at lvl 2 or 3 etc...SAme to scaving a lot and only doing return item dailys etc for passive xp gain on a multi day scav grind to build a stash/bp etc raider farming as a scav on reserve etc....then jump into a char that has like mulitple "FREE/gravy train" levels....SKILLS on main wind up being a bigger challenge. As you get harder and harder higher level tasks...and have skills of a lower level player technically same to looting you wont loot as much on PMC bc youre stash is FLUSH from scaving...and search mag check/fil etc skills get low etc...vs having a relatively low stock stash...and only run 1-2 mags while filling and playing mostly PMC from lvl 10-30. VS scaving for a chunk of that time. IM on my first wipe and just planning on hitting 40 before the summer wipe. And yeah...scaving too much did get me behind on my skills....often being 30.....going what map has a lot of containers/densly populated so i can grind my search to 9...as my scav is like a SUPER SOLDIER XD vs my PMC as far as the skill bars.

You can get around lvl 5 just identifying things. That being said you not going to be in raid finding the shotguns, salewas, 3M armors and progressing the tasks like everyone else is. Personally I don't even think you will achieve those levels as fast as people who are just logging raids in that same time. Getting lvl 2 is one successful raid maybe two if you die. There is no avoiding customs (or other players) if you are at all interested in questing which will be by far the fasted way of leveling. Semi off topic but basically all raids will be around full capacity early wipe. People are going to be spawning all around you and trying to trap you before you can even get out on the map. It's going to be totally different than it is currently when you can spawn on shoreline and basically run straight to resort. Instead of 2 player spawning on either side plus maybe I guy toward the top of the map and a guy toward the bottom, there will likely be 4 players on either side and couple on the top and bottom. No matter what map you play I don't think you are going to be avoiding full lobbies at least if you live in area with decent access to game servers.
So why reset before wipe??? Doesn't make sense because when wipe comes you'll have to start over again
